I was wondering if anyone had tried a2dp with their nexus and this head unit. I'm about to pull the trigger on one but will hold back if there are any problems reported.
P.S. I know there is a head unit thread but I want to keep that as a list of confirmed working units as opposed to a flood of questions like this.

I would venture a guess that it will be fine. I would check over at vwvortex (dot) com

I'm guessing it will be fine too since i have yet to encounter an a2dp device that doesn't work great with proper reception.
I am actually a member of vwvortex and the consensus over there is that the a2dp audio quality is crap on this head unit. But the only people who have claimed this are iphone 3gs users and i'm %95 sure the iphone only supports very low bitrate audio streams. I've asked for people with smartphones to chime in but there is no response as off yet.
If all else fails there is the aux input socket. If a2dp actually works well I will add this to the headunit thread.

[REQ]Mapping Volume-Buttons on Apple-Headset?

Hey guys,
just asked me if it is possible to use the apple 3gs Headset completely?
I mean this one with 3 buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If you plug it in, you can only use the middle-button to play / stop the current song. There is no use of the + / - Buttons.
I managed to enable the skip-function by installing playpause 4.0a from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3548894&postcount=21
Now I can skip a song by holding the middle-button.
It would be nice if the other both buttons could be used too, for adjusting the volume for example, for what they were originally made for
Any suggestions or interested programmers know how to realize that?
I could imagine I am not the only one who would be happy to use that feature.
Not even some people interested in having this feature? Are you all using this crapin' htc-headset?
i recently bought a pair of klipsch s4i headphones with the remote and mic and i can't really use any of the functions of the buttons or the mic. So I'm in the same boat as you. I was wondering whether it was a software thing or a hardware thing. bc if it were a software thing, couldn't you just write something that would translate the apple commands on the buttons into commands that android would recognize? idk if that could be done but it would be cool.

[Q] Bluetooth Headphone and Bluetooth version

which bluetooth headphone?
According to SGS Spec, our phone support v3.0 bluetooth (not sure how it benefit us compare with version 2.0)
I'm regular jogger, listen to music during my jog is what I like to do, unfortunately, I just had my expensive (to me at least) wire earphone torn apart , might be due to extensive movement during exercise, hence I'm looking at sporty bluetooth earphone/headphone.
I found Motorokr S9, but it's not available in my country (Asia). any other suggestion?

PS: http://5thirtyone.com/archives/855 not giving a good feedback.
any suggestion?
I got the S9-HD
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982274
and they are pretty much the best I had! I used to have the red ones like on the pictures but I got it from a chineese website, so I'm not shure if they are the real deal or an imitation, but the HD's are wayyy better!

Questions about sound routing via car docks

I searched, but did not find much so reaching out to y'all.
I have a stock unrooted Nexus S. I cant find a car dock that will redirect audio through the USB. Here is what I'm wanting to do if it is at all possible.
Im coming from a Samsung Captivate. I have a car dock that charges and routes audio out the dock. Basically, all sounds, calls, notifications, nav, pandora, etc would be heard via my car speakers.
Now, with the captivate, I had to use a app called Dock Sound Redirect. That app is not compatible on the stock Nexus ROM or kernel.
Im willing to root, no plans though on any custom roms yet. Waiting to see how the stock ICS is first
So, the hardware Im using is pictured below. Its basically a male micro usb to female micro usb and 3.5 mm
Looking now for thoughts on how to make this so I can build my dock

[Q] Bluetooth Headset Battery Level

Today I opened my shiny new Jaybird Bluebuds X and going through the manual, I ran into this little feature:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There's an app that can read the battery level on Plantronics headsets, why is there no app that can do this for others? Windows Phone apparently is able to read this too. The only big Bluetooth Headset battery app for Android calculates it based on connection time. I was never able to use it properly with my older Jaybird Freedom headphones because I was always losing the data and/or forgetting to run it to start tracking the usage.
I know this is a Nexus 5 thread, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to get this on Android, or would be interested in getting a bounty going. I'll be happy to pledge some money towards this, being pretty much clueless about app development.
It's not that big of a deal, but the battery warning on these Jaybirds is very annoying, beeping constantly when it's about to run out. Nothing that a consistent charging schedule can't fix, and with a regular micro USB connector, a quick charge in the car will keep them charged up.
I'm just sad that we're missing on a tiny but cool feature.

Help! Android Car Stereo no App Sounds...

I made the mistake so many others did, I bought a car stereo head unit off of ebay.
Below is the link to what it is, I can’t find specifics but I believe it is in the RockChip RK3188 area.
I really don’t know how to find this out. Just from another forum on this site (https://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Generic_Android_Head_Unit), I found it was the only one that matched with RockChip RK3188.
So my issue is I did a factory reset and now the radio has sound but no other apps have sound. So I have a big flat screen am/fm radio lol.
I think if I knew what to get I could flash it and probably fix it, but have no idea what ROM to use. I’m afraid I’ll brick it. Can anyone please help me; I’ve spent 3 months trying to get some help and so far no luck. Thank you in advance!
Below is the link, this is the not the same seller but it is the same stereo I bought just a lot cheaper lol.
